OFFICIAL JULY 2009 THREAD!!! The wait is on!!!

[Born 2B a Princess]

Okay, so I walked into my daughter's room this morning, which is always a huge issue. (She won't keep it clean for anything). Her nintendo ds charger cord was shaped into a perfect Mickey head. I woke her up early and made her look at it. It's a sign! We are suppose to be at Disney! If I knew where the camera was I would take a picture. I better find that before we leave, huh?

How neat!!

I should post a picture of our den, bathroom, all Hokiefied! We took Sophie to spring game this year, she LOVED it, Anna Kathryn did a cheer camp and got to perform on the field with the cheerleaders. Brad was SOOOOOOOO jealous that she got to come out of the tunnel! We are season ticket holders, and try to hit at least one or two away games, usually Duke since we like that stadium! Let's Go Hokies!


Guess you can use this for our who's going, since I doubt I'll get a picture with me in it in the next few weeks! DH and the kids stand out more than I do, anyway!

Here's a close up of my girls, so you can see they actually smile!


Sorry July friends for adding putting my other obsession in the way. Now, back to the mouse!

Love the pictures!! At least now I have an idea of what 3 of the four folks are that we will be on the water! So happy things are looking up with your dad for the moment. I will continue to keep tha family in my prayers. See you soon. Lois

Can someone tell me which page/post # the compiled pictures are on?

I have been trying to find out the days Fantasmic will be showing when we got to WDW (July 20-27). Can anyone tell me the days/times when the shows are held? I tried to get a Fantasmic dinner package but was unable to... Thanks for your help.

According to the calender on the WDW / Hollywood Studio site Fantasmic will show at 9 PM on the 20th, 21st, 24th, & 26th. As far as the FDP keep calling back and asking about it. Folks cancel all the time and you never know when you might get a spot. If you don't get the package just be prepared to be there early but in my opinion it is well worth it. In fact we have plans to go twice this trip. Lois

Man, I can't get 1 vacation started before I start planning another! I've been looking at DCL for next year. I must be insane.

I booked our August 2010 Oasis of the seas cruise six months ago...

Welcome to the group; We have been booked on a Back to Back on the magic since our last cruise this past fall. Just moved them to Oct 2010. Planning is the only thing that keeps me going. Lois

Wow! I just found these pics through the DIS updates; here is the link:

Desserts look amazing!! The views of Wishes and Spectromagic also are amazing - am thinking it would be worth it @ 17.99 each!

 

[8lovesmickey]

We're down to 13 days! We booked our Wishes dessert party for July 8th, so we're all set - it wasn't cheap, but I'm thinking it's worth it to avoid the pile of humanity trying to see fireworks. Honestly I've never had a good view of wishes... the one time we went very early and got ideal spots it was too windy and they canceled it. Here's hoping...

The pictures were awesome but made me need chocolate NOW.

Can't wait....

 

[bobieglo]

I received my mickey mail today!!

Nikki: Yours should be on the way!

Yeah! I remember how stressed I was waiting for mine.

 

[bobieglo]

Does any one know how quickly the wishes dessert is filling up. I might be going on a wishes cruise, but if it ends up getting canceled I want to go to this. Those banana tarts look sooooo good!

 

[bobieglo]

Single digit dance!
Who's with me??

I just hit today! So much to do I better start packing!

 

[Mindy5767]

Oh.. you Hokies!! My son is set on going to Va tech! Its hard to wrap my mind around being a Hokie Family because DH and I are Terps! I even have the U of MD Terps Virginia License plate. I'll always be a Terp, but I can be a Hokie Mom!!

My DS17 saw this hidden Mickey outside his bedroom window in the treetops. It too is a sign. Especially when I have my kids finding them unprompted!

 

[adisneymama]

Love the hidden Mickey!

8 more days!!!! I really need to get busy, but life keeps getting in the way! UGh!

I did want to pass this little tid bit on though. I was having a hard time deciding what to do about laundry detergent etc. I always do laundry while we are there but didn't want to carry any liquids that might spill in the van. While at Walmart I found these nifty little sheets. It is called Purex 3 N 1 or something to that affect. They are sheets that have detergent, fabric softner and a dryer sheet all in one. You simply put the sheet in the washer, then into the dryer. It was about $5.64 I believe for the starter set which includes a hard case to keep the sheets airtight and I think it is 20 sheets! Not a bad deal and no liquids!
